Quick Reviews

Stephanie: Great finale! I love how it picked up little threads from throughout the season and brought them into play here. I also love that we got to see all of our important recurring characters, and it’s got me desperate to hear that the show has been renewed for a second season.

Annie: I loved it! A great finale that tied together all the character threads, social and political aspects of the show, while putting our crew in the midst of the whole precarious situation on Westerly. I knew a cliffhanger was coming and I loved how it was presented! WHEN will this show get picked up for a second season, cuz I want it now!!

Kris: Loved it. LOVED. IT. A billion things happened, and it really feels like they picked up all the loose threads they've been planting all season and pulled them together. Which is exactly what I want in a season finale. Added bonus: some great character development!

Notable Elements

Khlyen killed Carlene — and she was really growing on us! He didn’t want the files Johnny took, just the liquid from his weird computer thing.

Confirmation that Pawter is from one of the Nine families, but is disowned

The genetic bomb came back and was used against The Nine

That was a lot of longing looks between Dutch and D’avin…

Khlyen said he killed Dutch’s husband

Poor, well-intentioned D’avin goes after Khlyen to try to help Dutch (and keeps getting shocked!), and now he’s on Arkyn. Zoinks!

The bombing of Old Town

The rumors are (at least kind of) true! Level Six Killjoys/Red 17 on Arkyn! And we see another Level 6, who also seemed impervious to pain.

Stuff that Made Us Happy

Bellus is safe!

The Nine’s meeting was at the Royal York Hotel, which was also the set for Valhalla on Lost Girl
